Surprised the HRE hasn't been mentioned. If there was a way to equalize everyone they would be right up there with the US and the 19th century British Empire. Both Hitler and Napoleon screwed themselves by underestimating Russia, in the process losing big chunks of their armies.

As for France and the RW, they used the US to embarrass the English. Without their warships the British could have evacuated/fortified/supplied anywhere close to the coast. We used each other...just as we helped each other with the LA Purchase.

At our weakest during the American Revolution we defeated the largest and most powerful empire in the world, the British Empire.

What country could have beaten the US
Didn’t read the entire thread but it depends on when in the history of the US you want to discuss.

1947? Nobody

UK? From 1776 to at least 1900 IF the UK didn’t have other simultaneous conflicts. Certainly after WWI their window to win was closed

Germany? Never

Russia? Never other than thermonuclear war that would zero both countries out.

China? Maybe Russia’s answer

France? Maybe early on, but not post Napoleon

Japan? Negative

Austro-Hungarian? Negative

Canada? Eh? Nope so back off you hosers.
